Free French film screenings announced to mark Bastille Day 2023

French film fans in Ireland will be able to catch a series of free screenings, in Dublin or online, in July to mark Bastille Day 2023.

To mark the French National Day, a series of special film screenings will take place in association with Dublin City libraries. In-person screenings include The Crusade from actor-director Louis Garrel and the charming comedy-drama The Rose Maker starring Catherine Frot.
